I think it’s this one.

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1993

solved

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

Please stop bumping this topic.

Nobody can help you.. Go to the WordPress support forums there is much more traffic.
Maybe somebody over there can help , else it’s just not possible and you have to pay somebody to do so.

Good question i would like to know also.

I doubt somebody has figured it out because i see this happening al the time at bbPress and WordPress forums.

For now:
Add the tagged words that clearly have nothing to do with your support-forum like Abercrombie, NBA, Air Jordan and stuff like that to the WordPress settings blacklist.

Look at the Widgets maybe you can drop a Login-/register Widget in the sidebar..

Create a new page and use the [ shortcodes ]

Step 4:

The code is a bit messy.
Here is the code in Pastebin.

Change the default to the NEW and you’re done.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

Alright guys i’ve got a solution,

Please note, i have ZERO PHP skills so this probably isn’t the best solution on earth but i think it’s a good work-around to get the job done ‘easy’..

If some PHP developer reads this topic and thinks, damn this guy is going crazy with all his copy-/pasting stuff please feel free to modify this code..

What did i do:
First i opened up the Core template file of bbPress where the Breadcrumbs function is made.
I have copied the code and pasted inside a new PHP document, made some simple HTML changes before and after the urls and called this new template file inside my Theme’s functions.php

Last i called my custom Breadcrumb PHP code just to make sure my code is loaded and not the default bbPress code..

Here you go.
When your done it should look like this structure..

http://i46.tinypic.com/33z93lg.png

Nothing too fancy but the only difference, it’s made by a HTML List , like it should be in 2012 because a Breadcrumbs is a navigation and not just 5 URLs behind each other.

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#breadcrumbs

Step 1:
Paste all this code into a new empty PHP document and call it breadcrumbs.php
When your done drop this file into your Themes include folder.
wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / inc / * here *

http://pastebin.com/bWdPEXa5

Step 2:
Open your theme functions.php file and add this code to it.

http://pastebin.com/nJ9pZinq

Step 3:
Open the bbPress or WordPress stylesheet and add those few lines of CSS to it.

http://pastebin.com/KyPuknTw

Step 4:
Inside the bbPress template files you often find this line of PHP code, it calls the default Breadcrumb function:

Change that line to this one and your done..

__( '', 'bbpress' ), ) ); ?.>

• without the dots before and after the -> .?.

Hope this helps..

Active the option inside WordPress > settings

There is somewhere a checkbox that says ” allow people to register on your site ” * something like that.

If you activate that checkbox people can register to your WP site and reply and create topics.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

@JJJ

Please do the people on bbPress.org a huge favor and delete all the fancy stuff in this comment-form, just load the default wordpress.ORG comment-form it’s huge and only support a few needed options. This is getting ridicules. People have to be an acrobat to post some code on this forums.

I can’t copy-/paste @mattsimo code because of this forum-software.

Safari + Firefox it doesn’t copy the the selected code i needed.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

Oops,

*Topic Authors -> should be Topic Creators or Starters.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

Maybe a little bit late..

The Lead Topic ( content-single-topic-lead.php ) is a very powerful but super simple function that can be used to style the Topic Authors different from the Repliers..

It’s also very useful if you want to add some ads or a simple note to your readers after the first message ( from the topic author)

Bummer this is nowhere to be found in the Codex.
But you can activate this option by adding this line of code to your WordPress theme functions.php template file.
Note i say functions.php and not bbpress-functions.php because you if you would add it to the bbpress-functions.php this code will be overwritten when the bbPress plugin updates in the future.

add_filter( 'bbp_show_lead_topic', '__return_true' );

Hope that helps..

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

I’ve got almost the same problem as @Anointed here, no before and after option..

Sorry to say but this is typically WordPress development they output Page navigations in < .a href's.. just one after the other and you can only hope there is enough classes to list and style them properly.

I found this problem with WordPress the first time when i tried to apply Twitter's Bootstrap Page navigation to a WordPress theme.
This is how a page-navigation should look like anno 2012 in default HTML. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#pagination

not like this..

        <a href="#">page 1</a>
        <a href="#">page 2</a>
        <a href="#">page 3</a>

Looks like single-topic-tag ID isn’t a supported short code.

It’s [bbp-single-tag id=12] or [bbp-topic-tag id=12]

http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

First you don’t need to create a new page.

When you install -/activate bbPress you get the slugs forums and topics by default look at the settings.

When you type just forums behind your url (as it would be a page) you go straight to the forums index page.
And if you would like to edit the layout of the page you should copy the archive-forums.php file from the plugins folder to your theme folder and make some changes.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

It’s hard to tell what is costing you this error.

First try to Save your Permalinks structure again inside your Dashboard > settings.

After that deactivate all plugins you use for security and stuff like that.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

Just go to your forum settings page inside your WP Dashboard.

And look at the slug for forums and topics field.

By default it looks like this:
forums
topics

If you put both names behind your url (as a it would be a page) you will find the url to the forums and last topics.

You don’t need to do anything with files at this point.
Just vist the forums page and copy the browser url > go back into your WP Dashboard > Menu’s and creat a new Menu + custom menu link. > Save

Done
People can now visit your forums page from the menu-bar of your website..

Metadata for search engines?

Use a plugin maybe SEO by Yoast.

Else use Custom Fields.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 4 weeks ago]

Use plugins…

Block IP’s or entire countries like China , Russia and Nigeria if you run a website for a local flower shop in France.

Just search around on the internet en WordPress website there is so much stuff you can do.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 4 weeks ago]

I think what he’s trying to say that somebody is working on it.

This means somebody outside WordPress is making a replica because i can’t believe WordPress giving away the code to the same sites they own. Normally nobody would do so.

But usual it’s not problem to recreate them and make them look the same, it’s just somebody has to do it in there free time so it takes a little time to complete.

But maybe i’am mistaken and WordPress is giving you this layout by default inside bbPress.
Maybe instead of the Twenty Ten option.

And last, bbPress.org is running on WordPress + bbPress version 2.2 this version hasn’t been released yet and don’t know why the team would do so or tell people that they do. It’s against WordPress ‘thinking’ they never tell people to use development software (code) on Live websites. Always test it on local websites.

You can find stuff about bbPress version 2.2 and up on this website.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 4 weeks ago]

I think the WordPress Adminbar is now been called the Toolbar.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Toolbar

Read and searsh a bit i think it’s very easy to add a link and remove stuff from this Toolbar.
there are filters i believe you can add to your functions.php to make this happen.

• There is also a plugin for locking members from going to your back-end made by @jjj

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 6 months, 4 weeks ago]

That’s very strange looks like the WP Loop is going somewhere through the sidebar.php file.

Make sure nowhere in the file is this code also look in the footer or other files that will be used.

( without the * )

But why would you copy stuff form the archive-forum.php template to the page.php template ?
page.php is used to generate a default WordPress page.

bbPress has it’s own Custom Templates

http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Those can be found in the extra’s folder. For example if you copy page-front-forums.php from the extras folder to your WordPress theme folder you can find it while adding a new Page inside the WordPresss Dashboard.

Just: Add New Page and in the sidebar on the right side you can find an option the select a different Page Template.
Pick the new bbPress page template and name your page like Support of whatever the title or (url) of this page has to be and Save it.
Visit the Page and all the forums will show on that new page.

Now if you like to add some WordPress (blog) stuff to that page copy it from whatever WordPress template inside the page-front-forums.php

Make sure you delete the sidebar() code that i showed above out of that template.
Thats the logic way of working i believe. Don’t touch the page.php because it’s a default WordPress template for making new pages on your website.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 7 months ago]

If you use the bbp-theme-compat theme you can copy some template files from the plugin directory to your theme directory.

This way bbPress can get updates in the future while your custom edits will not disappear because of the updates to the plugin.

http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

(read the last part.)

Only thing is, there is a template file that’s named like this: page-front-forums.php everybody thinks this is the default template that will be shown when you have an url like this.

http://example.com/forums/

But that’s not true, this template is only used when you use bbPress (the forum index page) as a homepage for your WordPress site.
If you use the forums (index) page as a separated page like my ‘example.com’ url above bbPress uses the archive-forum.php template.

What you can do very easy is copy-/paste the archive-forum.php template from the wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-theme-compat > extras > directory to your theme’s directory.
wp-content > themes > your-theme-name > and edit that template file.

Now bbPress wil not use page.php but the archive-forum.php template instead and you can edit this page to all your needs.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 7 months ago]

Search on the Codecanyon website inside the WordPress plugins there is a guy who has made a plugin that works with bbPress.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 7 months ago]

Thanks,

I’ve been searching inside the ‘includes’ folder to see if i could understand whats possible with some tags.

[ShmooParticipant @macpresss 7 months ago]

Sorry this forum doesn’t except the starting and closing PHP tags.

bbp_topic_author_avatar( array( ‘size’ => ’80′ ));

and

bbp_topic_author_avatar( array( ‘size’ => 80 ));

Both don’t work..
